Simplicity at it's finest

It's simple and just works. There are plenty of settings you can adjust, but by default, either choose full-tunnel or split-tunnel. Set your private network CIDRs, setup authentication, and you're good to go!

I'm sure others offer more advanced features, but I haven't found a great need for any of them.

I don't have anyhting to dislike the product, Airtel is blocking some of the VPS then I am not able to access the server and I have to switch to some other network (ISP).

OpenVPN for a small college
What do you like best about the product?
One of the easiest VPN products to set-up and use for our school. We tried a few before settling for OpenVPN. Even our senior non-tech teachers did not have problems installing the client on their machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost isn't the lowest around. But we traded cost for ease of use. Its no use paying for something super cheap but having to hire a consultant to implement it.
Our internal support team was able to set this up and deploy easily by reading the instructions thoroughly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our school subscribed to OpenVPN to provide a private and secured way to access our older intranet-based software during the pandemic. Since it worked very well during the pandemic and people already know how to use it, we thought it was best to leave it as it is to provide an extra layer of security even if the people who need to access our legacy software is on premise anyway.

My favourite thing about OpenVPN is how simple and quick it is to get started, plus the integrations it offers out of the box for the with such an easy setup is fantastic.

The only thing I dislike is that the server can't run on Windows.
